that's a perfect you've writte foreign policy, an article on foreign policy, talking about how the president seizes the initiative back. how does he do it in this case where obviously he believes, susan rice said she believed, that this was actually a step back for peace having this vote for the palestinians? >> well, first of all, that's a question of judgment whether they really believed it or not, but they went along with the lying. and that lying was probably domestically more popular. i don't think it makes that much difference. i think it would have been much smarter as someone did propose, i think, i forget who said that but someone very prominent said he wished both israel and the y united states had voted for it. it would have been far more 0 effective. wouldn't have altered the outcome but it would have given a totally different spin. adopting certain steps on the settlements and then the european allies reacting strongly. i think israel is more isolated today than ever before. not to mention the vote which was, you know, 188 and only eight against it. >> tony blair, we asked tony

that's what i'm most concerned about. >> eliot: there are domestic foundations to every foreign policy but this seems to be a step that uniquely puts the finger in the eye of the international community and makes it difficult to come back to the negotiating table. i'm mystified if you have hamas and abbas, he wants to make hamas the enemy and abbas the negotiating party, he does not seem to be turning to abbas as someone to play ball. and then the necessary next step to a two-state solution. >> this is what troubles me. net withnetanyahu, if he has a machiavellian idea, whether abbas is there or not, by beginning to construct on the very territory that most palestinians who are secularists believe should be part of a palestinian state. i don't understand why netanyahu thinks that he can force allies like great britain and france who just sided with him on gaza and the united states, and put him in a terrible predicament in the challenge with iran. the domestic equation with this netanyahu coalition is what drives everyone batty. it seems that he's far more interested in worrying about

studying the foreign policy making of the u.s. for the past 75 years particularly. i don't think it is an exaggeration to say, as we look back on this period, it will be viewed as extraordinary. i think it will stand out as one of the best years of leadership in the state department that we have had. and i would add that, for those of you who are waiting this in your mind, it represents a big step forward in that regard. because the state department can focus on enfranchising the disenfranchised and get as much credit for it that in the past it would have gone for invading another country. that is progress for us. [laughter] i think that is why we consider this an extraordinary achievement. the other thing that is done here that is not hyperbole although it is extraordinary, it says that you have been one of our leading global thinkers in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. we do like the idea of your leaving office. but it would be nice to give somebody else a chance.
